After that, Frederic released Irma and turned to leave.
Looking at his back, Irma’s chest suddenly felt the sharp pain. Frederic was very strange tonight and was so gentle to her.
But she smiled bitterly. This was the last time they could meet in their lives.
Just take it as Frederic’s filling them with some happy memories.
After a long time, Irma opened the small box, which contained an exquisite bracelet and a design of Pandora. The center was inlaid with bricks in different shapes, which looked beautiful and stylish.
There was a small card under the bracelet. Irma picked up the card. There were Frederic’s beautiful handwriting on it. He wrote: Irma, I have a lot of things that I want to do with you, and I want to make all your dreams come true. But please forgive me that it took me this long to have the courage to say “I love you.” If there’s ever an afterlife, I hope that you can give me a chance to cherish you. I promise you that by the time, I will give up all the pride and arrogance and love you insane. I promise.
Reading it through, Irma’s tears had already rushed down. She covered her heart and slowly fell onto the ground.
Frederic, I used to think that I’ve exhausted my life-long courage to love you, but today I learned that it would take more to give up on you.
If can, I”d like to meet you earlier in the afterlife, when I can love you boldly.

The wedding of Irma and Bruce was approaching.
On the wedding day, Irma put on a white wedding dress, took Bruce’s arm, and walked into the wedding hall step by step.
The wedding was very simple, but all the procedures were arranged properly. Most of them were relatives and friends of Bruce. Irma didn’t invite any.
Standing on the background, Bruce clenched Irma’s hand and looked at Irma and said, “Irma, you can rest assured that I will treat you well.”
“Yeah, I know.” Irma nodded gently, she never doubted Bruce’s heart for her.
It was just that in her heart, her true love belonged to a man that she could never fall in love with. She felt sorry Bruce.
The wedding was about to begin, and Irma was very calm.
She suddenly remembered her wedding with Frederic.
The wedding that day was completely different from today’s. A few hours before the wedding, she was so nervous that she could not speak, and she practiced several times on stage, for fear that if something went wrong, Frederic would be ashamed.
But no matter how well she did, Frederic was indifferent and perfunctory during the whole wedding.
Even on the wedding day, Frederic left her to find Una.
Well, what an irony.
It turns out that this is the difference between marrying a man you love and marrying a man who loves you.
“Irma, it’s time to go on stage.” Just when Irma was thinking about it, Bruce’s voice came.
Irma nodded, took Bruce’s arm, squeezed out a smile, and stepped onto the stage step by step.
“Irma!!!” After a few steps, a familiar voice burst out. Yet it sounded also a bit unfamiliar.
Irma subconsciously stopped, and the whole person was stunned.
She turned around slowly, and when she saw the woman standing behind her, she covered her mouth. Her look was full of disbelief.
That was her mother, Margret. It’s been ten years. Her mother looked much older and she began to have wrinkles on her face. Her hair was grayed out a lot, but…but she actually appeared in front of her.
It was so real, standing in front of her.
“Irma, I’m back.” Margret smiled bitterly and stepped closer to Irma.
She reached out and touched Irma’s thin face, and her eyes were full of caring and distress.
With a bitter smile, she embraced Irma in her arms, “Irma, Mom misses you so much.”
Irma froze for a while; she’s been waiting for this embrace for ten years. But today, she sneered and pushed Margret away, “Why did you come back so suddenly? Didn’t you have a good time out there?”
